Last night, we took the girls up to Pasadena to ring in the season with a little holiday cheer. (Well, actually a lot of holiday cheer for mommy, if you know what I mean) What started out to be a night of quick hellos at each of the family's homes to drop off Christmas presents turned into one big party at Jim and Casey's house. We had so much fun (I had a little too much fun) that we decided to make this an annual festivity! We all dressed in our sweats, the girls in their jammies, and ordered in pizza... it could not have been more perfect!
~~~~~~~~~~
First we mingled...
Then we ate pizza...
(Notice that Casey brought out the nice Spode Christmas dishes for our "Casual Christmas" and even trusted the toddlers to use them. Mind you that these are the same toddlers that wrote all over the walls the last time they visited. Lots of trust and love in the Houghton household, I'd say!)

Then we watched Santa drive by in the fire engine...
Then we exchanged some gifts...(The princess castle doll house was the hit of the evening!)
And, finally we ended with a family picture...
We are already looking forward to next year!
